When y'just can't catch a break!

    So AHers,

    Ever get one of those days where you just can't catch a break?

    I've been off boards for the last couple of weeks because my internet modem went faulty. I went down to the O2 shop earlier today to get it fixed. Had to give them a €50 deposit for a "loaner" 'til my one is fixed. Just got home, and now my mobile phone has lost the run of itself. :(

    Have to go back tomorrow. Probably another deposit required.

    I could have bought a Cypriot bank for less. At least then I'd have got to swivel round in a pretty cool chair for a while.

    Anyway, as the title says, any stories where you just couldn't catch a break?

    You should have watched "No time to Die" on RTE1 last night. It would have put your issues into perspective.

    My whole life is like that. Bad luck seems to follow me like a constant companion. I swear, if I was an albino, I'd have black dandruff.

    When i was in oz I decided to leave Sydney and go Perth, gave my notice and bought my plane ticket...so first of all I missed my flight to Perth because the car broke down, had to pay for another, got to Perth and the people I was sharing with informed me some itallian guys they met while fatmin were also goin to be staying. So I had to share with them aa tiny room while they pranced around naked.

    all attempts to get a job were futile so I rang my old boss on syndey to get my job back he said no problem, rang my old housemates no problem. So on the day I was scheduled to depart I realised I missed my flight by a whole day and once again paid for another.

    upon arrival in Sydney the wwheel of my suitcase broke so I had to lug twenty kg anda ten kg bag 2 on public transport to get to randwich. I arrived at the house unable to wake the housemates up. I had spent 2 hours waitinin outside. I decided to give the old boss a ring, to see when I could start again. as of that morning he informed me he had been arrested and sacked off his job.

    so little money rent due and no job, I didn't know what to do. to make matters worse I received a phonecall informing me I got the traffic controller job in Perth and when could I start. or was at that point I sucked it up and said I'd return home. after a break up out there which forced me to leave Melbourne for Sydney (on a train which broke down so was 14 hours in total) I had enough

    since I've returned home a year ago, I got a awesome job and having the time of my life, cant help but laugh lookin back!
